Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Current goat receipts 4.

Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were 3.00 to 4.00 lower, while breaking type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 1.00 to 2.00 higher. There were too few feeder cattle the previous week to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a higher undertone was noted. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were mostly moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.
